    Go for it. I want to see some stern moderation. Or maybe even some poop-deck moderation.

You all know me well enough by now that it should come as no surprise that I quickly added "White heterosexual Christians of western European ancestry only" to the end of the real ad copy.

    She didn't think it was funny, but it got me thinking—how many Fair Housing laws I could break in as few words as possible? This is what I came up with:
    "Only white, single, able-bodied heterosexual Christians of western European ancestry under 35 with no children need apply. Proof of citizenship required"

    Did I miss anything?
    If you want to really launch your wife into the ceiling! "Single Female between the ages of 18 and 40. Willing to trade occasionally for Rent!"
    "Love Trumps Hate."
    "You Facist, Sexual Predator!"
    " I thought a lot about blowing up the White House"
    Uh Huh, What Love?

    I dunno. Two hams in one duplex, it might exceed critical nerd mass.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    But you can share an antenna. You can hook up your receiver while she is transmitting. Of course your S meter will be registering RPM and not signal strength.

    Two words here: Six Land.

    Six Landers are never on the receiving end of a pile-up.
